AUA1XHT tiLCSKK i lllVHB miT JHCUIHU Mllll V J I II 1 OB Hold (iesok lrt n Marvel of (.amcncst. Walter Miller, wclterwe-.glit chnin plon, successfully defended his title against Chris Gcstk at the Arcade last night In the fastest wrestling ever seen In this part of tuo country. At 9:"20 Miller wr.u Inroduced and tho champion received a hearty wel come. A moment later Gesek made his littlo bow and received a warm reception. Ted Thye, who arrived In the city, was selected to rcfereo tho contest and Ted's work as tho third man on tho mat Is just as pleas- j lng as his wrestling. - Tlino was called at 9:30 and the; men jumped at each other without ! any formalities and kept the audi ence on its toes with excitement and admiration till tho final couut. Miller may truly bo called the "Dattllng Nelson of tho mat." He is right after his man from tho tap of the gong never slowing down for a moment to allow his opponent to set himself. While Gesek seemed perfectly at home In fast company and from the rlngsldo it up rami after a few min utes that the champion had little, If any, advantago over the wonder ful game little wrestler from Tacoma. Six minutes after the call of time Miller had Gesek locked up In a combination head lock and leg scis sors that looked bad for the Tacoma boy, but a moment later he returned the compliment and Miller made a completo flip-flop In extricatiug him-1 self. i Thirteen minutes from the time : tho contest started Miller had Gesek with a douhlo wrist lock that looked , like curtains for tho Tacoma lad. Ho I managed to get away and slipped Into a bad head lock but Gesek wus too strong and fast to be caught and at 25 minutes ho had Miller in the Bttinokind of a trap which required his best efforts to break. At thirty minutes Miller released a beautiful head scissors to put a dou blo wrist lock on Gesek. At 32 min utes Gesek faco-locked Miller, mater ially changing the champion's. facial expression to make him release a toe hold.. At 39 minutes Gesek was com pelled to succumb to a forward toe hold to which ho surrendered after suffering a couple minutes of excru ciating pain. At 10:25 the men stepped on to tho mat again und It could plainly be seen that Gesek was suffering from tho injury of his first fall and did not display tho speed that he natur ally possesses. Tho sore ankle hand icapped the poor fellow whose game ness never has been equalled on-any mat, and although he used every pre caution to protect tho injured anklo Miller had an opportunity to again secure a toe hold on tho samo foot and after three minutes Gesek fin ally surrendered with his proud de termined feelings as badly Injured as the unkle. Doth boys mado many friends by their wonderful exhibition of wrest ling and gameness. Miller waB handi- caped by a bad cold and left this morning for Hot Lake to spend a few days and break up tho cold. Gesek returned to Tacoma on n late train last night. The main bout was preceded by two splendid preliminaries. Oscar Johnson, the clever littlo 150 pound local boy, met a tartar In Young Bennett who displayed wonderful gameness but finally Buccumbcd to n half-Nelson after nine minutes of good wrestling. George Myers and Willlo Horstman wrestled a 10-niin-uto draw which pleased tho spectat ors. Both boys nro good prospects. Eddlo O'Conncll sent a wire chal lenging tho winnor of tho Mlller Gcsek match. . Jack Kennedy, ' tho popular and quite manly wrestler, camo over from Hermiston to see tho match. He was Introduced and challenged Ted Thye. Tho match Inst night merited bet ter patronage but other attractions split the attendance and the weaher conditions mado it impossible for country sport-lovers to come in.

Fearing that tile rigors of warfare would be too much for her delicate son, a woman living at Fresno, Calif., has written to United States marine corps headquarters here, asking that the young man be discharged.
